Former Deputy Speaker of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha Bir Devinder Singh has sent an SOS to the Punjab Governor with regard to the worsening health condition of the protesting ETT, TET-pass teacher, Surinder Pal Singh, who has been protesting atop a BSNL tower at a height of more than 200 ft for the past more than 100 days.

Devinder Singh has sought immediate intervention of the Governor to save the life of the protesting teacher. In his letter to the Punjab Governor, Devinder Singh said: “Horrifying reports in the media suggest that the health of Surinder Pal Singh has deteriorated beyond a point. Now, he is reportedly on indefinite fast for the past 10 days. Surinder Pal Singh is seemingly determined not to give up till their demands are met.”

He further wrote: “In this kind of worrisome situation, I am afraid the worst can happen in the next few days. If that happens, it will not only be a loss of precious life of a teacher, but also an indelible mark of disgrace on the reputation of the ‘faceless’ government of the day.” — TNS
